looking forward to the I-nav 3 tutorial, stay safe Lee

@funkynerd_com Год назад

Been racing quads for a while now, flying them for 8 years for photography, and just bought one of these as my first wing. Excited and yet also nervous for when I go to get it in the air. Your vids have been incredibly helpful in achieving that. Thank you!

@Painless360 Год назад

You are welcome, thanks for the comment. Flying fixed wing FPV is wonderful and a very different vibe from quads. Best of luck!

@johhny303 Год назад

finally bit the bullet and flew mine today. it's my first wing, i've been flying quads and heli's for years. everything thing went great, it's going to take a bit of getting used to i think lol much thanks to you Sir for your Dolphin and INAV videos.

@SeekingTheVerdants Год назад

Nice job packing all the gear. I absolutely love good cable management!

@glenharto9699 Месяц назад

Great video! I just literally received mine today from RDQ, thanks for the Tips Lee! I truly look forward to the maiden.

@Painless360 Месяц назад

This is still my No.1 plane/wing that I fly here. I hope you like it as much too... Best of luck with the maiden!

@glenharto9699 Месяц назад

@Painless360 ok Lee I got it 99% ready for maiden, I purchased the RTH version stock motor instructions say 2307-1700 kv it was sent with 2306 1800 Kv. (not sure!) Anyhow For the maiden to keep it lite, they recommend 4S 1300 to 2200 mAh (Lipo) I'm going with the 1300 mAh (5mins flight time?) assuming. Or would you recommend the Li-on packs, mate?

@Painless360 Месяц назад

I'd go with LIPO until you know the current the setup will pull. Better safe than sorry for that initial flight! :D

@jamesceastep8874 3 года назад

Lee: Your Dolphin seems to be an all-round winner, and these tips and update make me look forward to the infrared combat accessories. Questions: 1) How would you compare flight characteristics of the ZOHD Dart 250g, Drift, and Orbit with the AtomRC Dolphin? 2) Are you using 18650 or have you tried 21700 Li Ion battery packs? I'm wondering if my new LiitoKala 5000mah 21700 cells would have enough punch to comfortably launch and cruise for long distance with only 2S 2P packs. 3) Do you expect to change from the Matek F411 WSE flight controller to something else when you reach your final configuration? 4) Do you have specific suggestions for FPV cameras on the Dolphin, both for the make/models and desired FOV to get optimum view for orientation without too much fisheye effects? I can't wait for your next update covering everything we need to know about INAV 3.0 and infrared combat!! - Jim

@Painless360 3 года назад

1) Worlds apart those '250g' models can only handle the lightest of winds. The Orbit is a lovely wing but limited to slower flying without lots of upgrades. 2) Nope not yet. 3) Not while it is suppored by INAV.. 4) You'll see the same cameras being used again and again in the builds. I like the RunCam Racer and Eagle and Foxeer Falkor and Predator... Happy flying!

@jamesceastep8874 3 года назад

Thanks Lee. What is your preferred FPV camera Field of View in degrees?

@Painless360 3 года назад

I like about 120-140. Depends on what the model is and how I want to fly. Happy to have more for 16:9 modes (I prefer that on fixed wing)..

Yes, some is added via the INAV or I add it to the radio if not using inav.. Happy flying

@bigbluechopper24 2 года назад

Great video as always. Would be fantastic if you could do a video detailing the finer points of gear installation in models. E.g. It looks like you have cut slits for the RX antenna to slide into for correct orientation, that is such a nice simple solution!

@wattage2007 2 месяца назад

A hard landing and at least one wingtip will smash off. A few more bad landings and the thing will become unflyable. Mine flew beautifully the first half dozen flights but after a few sub-optimal landings and repairs, the plane developed horrible flight characteristics and now I've had to give up on it because it just won't launch without crashing.

@Painless360 2 месяца назад

Shame to hear that yours gave up. Mine has been crashed, snapped and glued a dozen times and still flies great.... Happy flying

@aaronsmith3160 2 года назад

I am seriously considering getting one of these and want to put FPV combat in it also :) A couple of things I want to do with it though is a head tracker which I think would work but also like the idea of having a rudder. Have you used the ruddervator or are they not worth using?

@shawncruise2030 3 года назад

Great video. Been wanting one for a while. Do you notice any flight difference between the blunt and pointy nose? That blunt nose doesn’t look very aerodynamic.

@Painless360 3 года назад

There must be some effect but not enough for me to notice anything.. Happy flying

@IanMorris-so3vr Год назад

Hi your atom rc dolphin build looks incredible, I have just sent off for one after crashing and snapping my tbs caipirinha in two, would you consider the dolphin to be easier to fly than the caipirinha as I'm not very experienced, I did manage to fly the caipirinha a little but it just seemed to fast for me, what is the slowest speed the dolphin can be flown at, cheers, Ian.

@Painless360 Год назад

Dolphin is a lot easier.. Best of luck!

@IanMorris-so3vr Год назад

Many thanks for the reply Lee, I've now also bought a nice slow cheap trainer plane to practice with first to get the hang of the controls before I try the dolphin. I've been flying racing quads for a while and am OK but fixed wing seems a lot harder to me.

@Painless360 Год назад

I have a few videos that may help. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xIJ3qZ4KOOQ.html best of luck

@IanMorris-so3vr Год назад

Hi Lee, the fixed wing tutorial video is great thank you, do you mind me asking you, when I configure the dolphin on inav, is it OK to use inav 6.0, I can't seem to download any older inav versions on my windows pc, I'll be using a matek h 743 wlite wing flight controller, thanks, ian

@rickster-fpv1818 3 года назад

I'm almost done with my Dolphin build. Not using a FC. I intentional bought the Foxeer toothless 2 nano, with 2.1 lense to avoid the the nose in the camera view, and to give me vbat in the camera. Don't you have a 3D printer? I printed a different nose for mine. Off of Thingiverse.

@Painless360 3 года назад

I doo but I'm happy with my setup. Best of luck with yours, I am having a lot of fun with mine. Happy flying!

@rickster-fpv1818 3 года назад

@@Painless360 So you appear to have a 2 blade prop now. what size and why did you change it?. Also , you mention Combat flying? The only combat flying I have ever done involves cutting streamers or actually trying to hit another plane. I certainly would not be trying to fly my Dolphin into other planes. And With prop in the back, it doesn't seem to be the best for cutting streamers. SO can you explain the type of Combat Flying you do? thanks

@nickboul3328 2 года назад

Hello. Once again a great video. Would it be possible to share a dump file of inav?

I don't for fixed wing as you need everything to be identical (radio, linkages, control geometry, versions, cabling etc.) for it to work... Happy flying

@avsaase 3 года назад

Hi Lee, how does the Dolphin compare to the AR Wing Pro? Ther are of comparable size I think. I went with the AR Pro for the long-range capabilities but I think the Dophin is a much cooler-looking wing.

@Painless360 3 года назад

It depends on the setup of motor and prop ;) Both have lots of room but the PRO has more space for stuff and huge batteries with simpler layouts.. Both are great choices for exploring and having fun.

@avsaase 3 года назад

@@Painless360 and in terms of flight stability?

@Painless360 3 года назад

If anything I would say the Dolphin is slightly better in full manual but it depends on how you have it setup and if you use an FC or stabiliser...

@Miniellipse 3 года назад

You mention lithium ion batteries. Are they18650s? if so, please do a real test and let us know what you think. I tried some Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh - 20A current capability and found them to be unreliable compared to Lipos.

@Painless360 3 года назад

18650. There are many types of cells and only a few types will work in the hobby for powering models. See my video on it.. Happy flying

@brezovprut4431 2 года назад

Would you suggest it over AR wing pro for long range? Dolphin is beginner friendly too?

@Painless360 2 года назад

Both are lovely models to make and fly. Both can carry huge batteries and have tons of room for modern electronics. Both can carry a GoPro but the AR wing needs a lot of weight in the nose with a huge battery and/or a GoPro to get the CG right. The Dolphin can be flown with lots of batteries without CG issues..

@poporbit2432 3 года назад

Painless, I'm setting up a quad with props out rotation instead of the standard props in rotation. Beta flight has a single variable that addresses this change. Is there a single variable in mission planner standard or advanced parameters that addresses this?

@poporbit2432 3 года назад

I may have found the solution to this. It looks like I need to change the frame type from X to H. Is that correct?

@Painless360 3 года назад

Probably one of the simplest ways to do it. This isn't something that is well covered in Ardupilot.
